A student's guide to buying Nursing books second hand

Nursing books cost close to medical prices

GNM and B.Sc Nursing prescribe a heavy, expensive list — anatomy and physiology in the first year, then medical-surgical nursing, pharmacology, midwifery, community health and nursing management across the following years. Several of those titles individually cost more than an entire school set.

They are also year-scoped: first-year fundamentals are set aside once you move on. Seniors listing their year-wise sets after exams is the single most common source of listings in this category.

  • Year one: anatomy, physiology, fundamentals of nursing, nutrition, psychology.
  • Year two: medical-surgical nursing, pharmacology, pathology, microbiology.
  • Year three and four: midwifery and obstetrics, community health, child health, nursing management.
  • Throughout: procedure manuals and drug references.

Buy protocol-linked subjects current, the rest used

Anatomy, physiology and fundamentals of nursing are stable, and a previous edition is fine. Pharmacology and anything tied to clinical protocols or national health programme guidance is not — schedules and management change between editions, and your examiners follow the current one.

Read the edition on the listing against what your department recommends, buy the current edition where it matters, and take the saving where it does not.

Condition, annotations and clinical wear

Nursing books travel to clinical postings, which shows: soft covers, bent corners, and colour-coded highlighting through whole chapters. Much of that annotation is useful — a senior's flagged procedure steps and exam-marked sections are a real study aid.

Every listing is reviewed before going live and carries a condition grade with photographs of the actual copy. Check the procedure and diagram pages in the photos, and the spine.
